“Very pleased”

“The service and delivery was very good. The item was as described although I don't think it would fit many chickens. I have brought it for rabbits and it is brilliant for them. It is well made and was very easy to put together. It looks really good. Thank you.”

“Easy to put together and delivered very fast. Suitable for 3 average sized hens not 4 - 6 as stated in the advertisement. We have 3 hens and one is a smaller breed the other 2 are average size. One average size and the smaller one roost on the first pole but the second roosting pole is too close to allow the third to roost so she goes into the nest box, they should be about 10"-12" apart. We also left the divider out of the nesting box as our girls wouldn't have fit. We've been keeping hens for a several years and had to destroy their old large coop due to red mites. This one is nice but not suitable for more than 3 hens unless they're bantams.”

“Good product for the price, It would have taken me ages to make one from scratch. Service first class, wheels were missing from the pack but a quick call and they arrived 9am next day with no hassle. I will use them again”

“Its a great little hutch, ideal for our 2 guinea pigs. The only things to improve it would be a hinge on the roof so you can lift it to add/remove hay and bedding. The slide out tray is brilliant but you have to open the little door on the front to remove all the big bedding, otherwise it either jams the tray or falls onto the grass. The 2nd thing to improve it would be a sliding door to go across the top of the ramp. Our chicken coup has one (also from you) and I assumed this would too. Our pigs are babies and I would like to be able to shut them up top at night. Also they would be warmer/draught free come the winter if there was a door. Easy to put together, quite sturdy and quick delivery. Just waiting for a cover as it was out of stock.”

“There are brilliant things about the Betty on wheels hen house and pen and then some bad aspects. The side opening door easily falls off its hinges when you open it (my land is not flat) and there is a big gap (draughts) either side of it. It is a roomy house but the perches are on a slant and the nest boxes are above them in height so you know where the chickens are going to sleep! Definitely needs rectifying. If you fit another nest box in place of the opening door (nest boxes fit well) then you have no entrance into the house to catch chickens or whatever. If it only had a back opening door as well this aspect would be perfect but not of course if it fits badly! The pen has wooden roof support in the middle and one side arrived with the nail in it already broken. It should be packed more carefully and marked up as fragile. Then there is the aspect of the pop door which with the pen fitted cannot be accessed (we used string etc to solve the problem) . Apparently the automatic door system is fitted inside (was going to get it but don't see how I could operate it!). Not sure how this works but every time you want to change it you would have to reach inside and disconnect it or something and if you fitted the second nest box then no entry. The pen prevents you fitting one outside. Of course if you don't use the pen then no problem. Overall compared with other houses I have bought I am pleased with it and no doubt we can modify it over time. Just such a shame that such a roomy house has not been better thought out. The poorly fitting door makes you think they expect you to have another next box which would be great if you still had access to the house! In its favour it seems to be robust and unlikely to get blown over and the wheels and handles make it easier to move although I can't manage by myself as I had hoped. However our ground is sloping and uneven so on a level surface perhaps I could!”

“I really do like these Egg Shell hen houses... and so do my hens. I bought the Granary model and I was impressed how easy it was to construct. So impressed that I have just purchased a second one. Excellent communications and delivery by the supplyer. I would recommend these to anyone.”

“I'm pleased with my chicken house. As expected It's cheap and cheerful and should last a couple of years. I'm liking the side access panel for easy cleaning, much better access than my last one. Having had this type of house before we have added some extra screws when building and have put the feet on levelled slabs to try and keep it square as our last house warped a bit. The only bad point was the courier, I had to wait in all day for it and when it arrived the box was damaged and inside a few bits had broken, but nothing to prevent it being built.”

“Never had such prompt service. Telephone confirmation of order and delivery straight away. Delivery next day. Erection of house quite easy and really pleased with quality for price. I wish I had brought the extra run as single run just a little small. My hens are used to free range. A daytime fox visit meant I needed to move them from the house they were in in veg garden to lawn by house. Have four remaining hens and this new house will take a couple more if they can range. Happy with purchase and would recommend.”

“The finished article looks great. It is firm , sturdy and good value. The delivery was amazing I could choose a day for delivery. The assembly directions are a bit vague (fortunately I am good at puzzles) the construction of the nest box was the hardest to work out.”

“Great service paid for delivery 3 to 5 days received order in 2 days. Hen house was really easy to put together, instructions easy to follow, it took me 1 hour to have it all together. I was really in pressed by the screws and nut and bolts in bags with letter coding to match the instructions. Great product really made well,.”
